Question

I want to use iText to create a PDF. I want to create a ordered list. However, I want the way elements are marked to be:

a)
b)
c)
d)
etc...

iText doesn’t support that kind of marking, as it has several of his own, predefined. Is there a way to create my own marker (e.g. constructing a string of elements and passing it to the correct method/constructor), or is the only way to tamper with the iText’s core files?

The lists I intend using it on has only up to 5 elements, so the lenght of the alphabet is not a problem…

Answer 1

What about:

List list = new List(List.ORDERED, List.ALPHABETICAL); 
list.setLowercase(List.LOWERCASE);
list.setPostSymbol(") "); 
// use list
